TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that l', A. Y. HUBELL, of Elmira, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Sadlrons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a, full and exact description of the saine, reference being had to the annexed drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, as forming o. part of this specification.

Figure 1 is aside elevation with the two parts properly adjusted, and

Figure 2 a View of' the upper or hollow part inverted.

The nature of this invention consists in constructing a sad-iron in the manner hereinafter described, and also in the employment of a non-conducting substance, so arranged, in relation to the two parts of the iron, as to prevent heat from being communicated to the handle.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now describe its construction.

A represents the upper part of the iron, provided with the handle d as usual. Said part is cast hollow, as shown in iig. 2, also with the holes a, e e c. The hole a is the opening through which the non-conducting substance, such as plaster of' Paris, cement, itc., is introduced. B is the lower or bottom plete, cast solid with the wire pins g g. The two parts are now fastened together by means of these rivets or pins, and may be either adjustable by a screw-threadbeiug cut upon the ends o? the pins, or the pins may be riveted. Some good nonconducting` substance is now introduced in sufficient quantity to fill the cavity. I prefer the use of plaster of Peris.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by. Letters Patent, is-

'lhevemployment of a. non-conducting substance, in combination with the parts A B, constructed and arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above, I set my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR Y. HUBBELL.
